The Department of Finance is currently reviewing a request for the removal of the customs duties on parts for use in the manufacture of gas tanks and radiators for motor vehicles. These parts are classified as follows in the Customs Tariff:
(1) rubber gaskets, classified under tariff item No. 4016.93.10, dutiable at 6.5% under the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) Tariff and the General Preferential Tariff (GPT), and other rubber parts, classified under tariff item No. 4016.99.90, dutiable at 6.5% under the MFN Tariff and at 5% under the GPT;
(2) brackets or clamps, classified under tariff item No. 8302.30.90, dutiable at 6% under the MFN Tariff and the GPT;
(3) other parts of radiators, classified under tariff item No. 8708.91.99, dutiable at 6% under the MFN Tariff and the GPT; and
(4) other parts of gas tanks, classified under tariff item No. 8708.99.99, dutiable at 6% under the MFN Tariff and the GPT.
The applicant claims that tariff relief on these parts would enhance its competitiveness in the domestic and export markets.
If you have an interest in this request, or are aware of others who could potentially be affected by such action, I would appreciate receiving your views by December 10, 2012.
